Abstract

In a joystick device where a tilting operation direction of an operation shaft is detected based on positional change of a magnet relative to a magnetic sensor, the magnet being moved with tilting of the operation shaft, a slider (59) is arranged between a base (60) facing a board (61) fixed to a case (17) and a magnet holder (58) to which the operation shaft (16) is swingably coupled; the magnet holder (58) is joined to the slider (59) such that the slider (59) guides relative movement of the holder (58) in a first linear direction orthogonal to the axis of the operation shaft (16) but prevents relative movement of the holder (58) in a second linear direction orthogonal to the first direction; and a guide mechanism configured to guide movement of the slider (59) in the second direction is provided between the slider (59) and the base (60). This prevents variation in the detection accuracy by keeping constant a distance between the magnet and the sensor regardless of tilting of the shaft.
